This question will help your interviewer determine how much thought you put into pursuing this opportunity with them. Keep in mind, their goals may be different from yours. If you are trying to find a job anywhere that feels like a good match with your skill set, you should know they are not looking for the same in a candidate. They are looking for someone who will share in the ownership of what they've built. They are looking for someone who identifies with their culture, purpose, vision, and values and whose behavior is in line with theirs.
